  Stephen Leacock

 It's not surprising that their facilities are primitive by our standards. It's also not surprising that, given the dedication and money they've devoted to upgrading their military, that they have been able to produce long-range missiles, and to fire them from such primitive spots.

 Anytime you're working on behalf of a private sector business, if you're working with the government and dealing with the people's money, then everybody has a right to know who's working with whom.

  Dick Cavett

 People tried to dismiss my candidacy when I ran for the United States Senate against an incumbent in 1992, and I had little money...

 You have the baby boomers, people with money that are now retiring, they don't want to spend that much time in the kitchen. Then, you have professional people, married couples in their 30s. A lot of times, both of them are working. Who's to say which is going to cook?

 Are we not trying to promote the notion of people living together? ... What religious group taking federal money says, 'You know what, I want to help these poor people, but not with a Jew,' (or) 'I cannot have a Baptist working for me,' (or) 'no Mormon need apply?'
